Sitter
in Brooklyn

Attention P.S. 321, P.S. 107, P.S. 39, P.S. 282, P.S. 154, Berkeley Carroll, St. Francis Xavier, St. Saviour Parents! Let me, "Miss Beth," pick up your kids from school, and I'll do my best to help get the homework done by dinnertime. I've been a piano teacher intermittently since 1979, so we can have a little fun with that in the time allotted.
I'm a 52-year-old never-married, never-parented Midwesterner -- who LOVES kids, as they are drawn to me -- aspiring to be a Montessori teacher and postpartum doula in my next career. As the eldest in my family's generation, I was the designated Babysitter and I know the ropes. I understand that it can be hard work at times; let me take a load of routine tasks off your schedule and run some kid-energy off so that you can bring your best to your children and they can bring their best to you.
Delicious and nutritious cooking also available, as well as light household management, for example: errands, picking up and sorting mail, light cleaning/decluttering, phone calls, e-mails, computer backups and grocery shopping. I know all the local parks and playgrounds to get those little arms and legs moving in a safe and supervised way without "helicoptering." Drop-offs and pick-ups at lessons and sports are no problem, and I can break out the coloring books on a rainy day.
I am college educated and was a highly accomplished student in my youth. I can tutor existing homework assignments with patience and skill, and yes, that includes elementary through intermediate math.
I'm seeking to try out my skills in after-school sitting with up to four children. Exclusives also available.
Now is the perfect time of year to move into summer with the flexibility to expand to full or part time. So set up an interview today. Thanks!
